Day Twenty Eight

Ok the final countdown is really here, we have made it through the last weekend and now we are on to the last two days.  It's kind of funny as much as I say I am over this and I just want it to be over I am glad that I challenged myself to the whole 30 program.

Let's roll the clocks back, lets go back to October.  I was pretty adamant and vocal that it was impossible to do this diet and that it was something I could never do.  I would never even think of giving up wine for thirty days (I know you never would have guessed by reading my blog that I missed my wine) :-).  I did not cook at home that often, it was much easier to go out and grab stuff for breakfast lunch and dinner, way more expensive but easier!  I also had no desire to read up and learn what was necessary to be successful in this diet.  If I am going out on a ledge and challenge myself I was going to prepared and that was not in the cards for me at the time.  So I sat back and watched several people run through the thirty days and literally complained the whole month of October about how I could never do it, how I would never give up wine for 30 days, and it was way too difficult to do with a family and three children with several different activities.  At one point I even responded negatively to a blog written by Tony giving all the people doing the whole 30 kudos and basically telling the rest of us we were just chicken shits, boy did I start aton of trouble with that post!!

What made me change my mind ( read day one of my blog), but I did change my mind and I am glad I did.  Here you go....

You were right Tony, and it was worth thirty days of no wine. ( I hope you are reading this because its the only time you hear it :-)).

This was a great challenge and a great way to cleanse your body of all the garbage that we put in our bodies on a daily basis.  This has been a great experience and I am very happy that I did it and learned a ton.  I was completely correct you have to be totally prepared and make sure you understood all the things that were good to eat, things that were ok to eat, things that were supposed to be limited and all the things that were supposed to be eliminated.  If you were prepared did your reading, asked questions when needed then I am sure you had a successful thirty day journey and you have created new habits that will last once the thirty days are done.

We will all have the things we will go back to eating , it's un-natural not to have a piece of chocolate every once in a while!!  Two more days until wine and chocolate!!
